It started yesterday, whenever I open a window on mumsnet, I get a pop-up box asking if I'd like to switch to the mobile site as they've noticed I'm using a mobile device. Well the answer is no, but I'm now getting a bit miffed that I've said no to it 8x. By all means ask me, but once ive said no, surely you dont need to ak again!

Have you contacted MNHQ?

If not, report this thread and they'll see it..then they might be able to help?

Same problem!!!!

I don't want to switch. No means no!! Stop harassing me!

I just tried to get on the MN full site on the iPad and kept getting this message. It annoyed me so I've gone back to using the MN app on my phone.

Isthatajoke · 06/12/2011 00:35

Grrrrr it's annoying me too

FoxyRoxy · 06/12/2011 00:36

Very very annoying!!

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 06/12/2011 00:49

Do you hear that, MNHQ? It's bloody annoying....

scarletforya · 06/12/2011 02:36

Yep, I've said no too numerous times but it won't fook off.

Another annoying thing is that feckin' floating toolbar thingy that always settles just on the thread you want to read. What is the point of the thing!?

You can put the app on your iPad but it's an iPhone app do you need to zoom in

There is a thread about this on site stuff ..... It is so annoying as mums net don't seem to be rearing very quickly ..... Maybe if we threaten to complain to those whose adverts are blocked with the stupid message they will do something!!

Whatmeworry · 06/12/2011 07:16

No ways am I going to a mobile site from an iPad or iPhone as they are always crapper and you never get a chance to go back. That popup needs a "don't ask me again" function.

Whatmeworry · 06/12/2011 07:17

And yes it's irritating. The whole mobile site thing is so last year with smart devices.

QuietNinjaMincepie · 06/12/2011 07:36

Bloody thing is sat here looking at me too. I'm in my iPod. I ignore it now so it just sits there.

SanTEEClaus · 06/12/2011 07:48

Add to the other thread here!!!

MrsMuddyPuddles · 06/12/2011 07:52

It's only just started for me in the last week or so, surely MN could revert to the older version.

Dirtydishesmakemesad · 06/12/2011 09:08

Yanbu this is on my ipad too and its driving me mad. I dont want to use the iphone app!

NorfolkNCarolSingers · 06/12/2011 09:17

I get it when on the mobile site trying to view profiles etc!

VFVF · 06/12/2011 11:35

Yes it's annoying!

ChuffMuffin · 06/12/2011 11:41

I get the same problem on my phone! But when I press no it clicks an advert underneath so I'm not actually pressing no IYSWIM.
